Matt Payne

@ZachCav Anything on how his injury has played out? Assuming no news is good news? Exciting to see how the year ended for him after a slow start.

Ducks 2025 No. 10 overall pick was second in scoring for Providence this season with 27 points on 11 goals 16 assists in 35 games as a freshman. Friars lost in the quarterfinals of the Hockey East tourney, and will learn their NCAA tournament draw on Sunday.

@iEnVy_NoWifi @Felix_Sicard You should coach , crazy insight

@MattPayner @Felix_Sicard Nah doing it at full speed is the worst time to do it

Sennecke with the between the legs turnover, and the Flyers score 2 on 1 going back the other way. You love the creativity, but there's a time and place to channel that.

@jordanmay1414 @Felix_Sicard You got me!!

@MattPayner @Felix_Sicard you’re an idiot

@gopackgo555 @Felix_Sicard Yes let’s hurt the star rookies confidence and make him second guess his natural instincts. It has been more good than bad, the learning is still obviously happening, let’s act like we’ve played sports before.

@MattPayner @Felix_Sicard Nah that’s a terrible play full stop. No excuses. Classic rookie mistake.

@AnaheimDucks Zellweger has been awful, plain and simple.

We battle back to earn a point tonight. #FlyTogether

@ZachCav Special pass!!

That behind-the-back Jeff Viel feed. That finish from Cutter Gauthier. Ducks back in front. #FlyTogether

@AnaheimDucks Massive massive win People giving Dostal a hard time have to realize he is playing exhausted. Leaned on heavy earlier in year + Olympics. Granlund needs to find his pre Olympic level (maybe injured still).

Ducks dub!!!

@CJKChel I’m really nervous about rest of season. Just hasn’t had a good feel since the break. Hope I’m wrong, I’d love to go to some playoff hockey, but either way it’s been a really fun year with a lot of movement in right direction.

Big one today

@CJKChel More pissed at the “captain” doing dumb shit during a playoff push. Zellweger and mintyukov look real bad recently. Carlson needs to get in lineup.

Disgusting performance after going up 3-1.

@AnaheimDucks Mctavish looked good Zellweger and mintyukov constantly creating rushes for other team. Gudas loser mentality

Final #FlyTogether

@AnaheimDucks Gudas single handedly losing them the game. Mintyukov has been bad too minus one shot. Mctavish has looked good

Nylander at the backdoor on a power play. TOR 4-3

@ZachCav @SportingTrib Couldn’t watch tonight - was the defense as good as that shot against total makes it seem?

Final: Ducks 4, Jets 1 Hell of a bounce back for Anaheim, outshoot Winnipeg 34-13 (T-season low shots against) to open the trip. Monster game from bottom 6: Washe, Poehling, Killorn, LaCombe score. Ducks build a 3-point lead on top of the Pacific. @SportingTrib | #FlyTogether

@ZachCav @SportingTrib If a player gets back into the lineup not once, but twice and reinjures it both times, how can you not categorize that as a “mishandling.” Cmon

@ZachCav @SportingTrib I’m comfused? Doesn’t that literally just prove my point? Shut him down until it’s completely healed. Or keep playing him. Not this in between stuff where it prolongs issues. I’m sure players don’t like being in limbo either.

John Carlson (lower-body) and Troy Terry (upper-body) will travel with the Ducks on this four-game Canadian trip, per Joel Quenneville. Carlson targeting the end of the trip to get into the line-up. Terry not expected to play. @SportingTrib | #FlyTogether

@ZachCav @SportingTrib Terry came back before he was ready, re aggravated. Granlund did the same early in year. The ducks have been playing it neither cautiously nor rash - unsure could be the proper word. Not confident. It has led to many more missed games than it would’ve if they picked a side.

@MattPayner @SportingTrib Mishandling? If anything they’ve been overly cautious all season. Nobody’s been forced back before they’re ready.

@ZachCav @SportingTrib Then shut him down and let it heal right the first time. Idk why there’s justification for the mishandling of multiple injuries this year.

@MattPayner @SportingTrib Not every injury can be fixed by a surgery.

@ReindeerGames91 Bummed unlease they re sign him - seems not worth it to give up an extra piece for the ducks future and/or using the pick/prospect as a trade chip for a bigger swing.

Carlson is really good and improves this team right now on the right side, but he is a pending UFA and is 36 years old. I am not sure I really understand this deal from a long-term perspective, unless it truly is just wanting to make the playoffs now, Could change with more moves

@AnaheimDucks Ducks have actually been playing bad hockey since the break, saved by some timely goals from cutter and good goalkeeping. Unsustainable. Need to get back to defensive mindset they had the 5 games before the break. And get helleson out of there, play Moore at D and get vatrano in

Our winning streak comes to an end tonight against the Avs. #FlyTogether
